Physical Preparation with Charlie Weingroff

Charlie Weingroff is a guy I’ve known for years, and he’s definitely one of the most entertaining guys in our business. While he went to school to become a physical therapist and works with clients in that fashion, Charlie views himself more as a strength coach versus a PT, gives him a truly unique perspective on training and rehabilitation. In today’s show we’re going to talk about Charlie’s perspective on the training and rehab continuum, the 4 buckets that comprise his training philosophy, and a Big Question answer that you don’t want to miss Here's a brief overview of today's show. * What led Charlie to the world of physical preparation. * A key distinction - does he think of himself as a physical therapist? Or a strength coach? And most importantly, WHY? * Charlie's big rocks when it comes to athletic development. * The things that he's tweaked, modified or refined in recent years to make his training even more successful. * Charlie's thoughts on the DNS system, and why it's a tool in his toolbox. * His role with Canada Basketball, what he's trying to accomplish with them, and the all-star crew he's surrounded himself with. * The BIG Question. * The exciting lightning round where we discuss comic books, WWE, his favorite NBA player to train, and if (or possibly WHEN!) we'll see Charlie on the powerlifting platform again.
